Master the game and climb the rankings
Create as many valid words as possible using the 7 letters provided. Letters can be reused — you can use the same letter multiple times within a single word (like DEED or TWEET)!
Usage limits across all your words:
Find words between 3 and 7 letters long. The more words you find and the longer they are, the higher your score!
Click letters or type on your keyboard to create words. Each word must be 3–7 letters long.
Click "Submit" or press Enter to check if your word is valid.
Each letter tile shows usage: 2/3 means you've used that letter 2 out of 3 times across all your submitted words.
The power letter (⭐) can be used 5 times instead of 3!
Try to find as many words as possible! The progress bar shows:
The reachable count is smart — it accounts for letter conflicts between words, not just which words are individually possible. If submitting a word causes the count to drop by more than 1, it means that word blocked other possibilities.
The banner at the top of the game shows today's puzzle targets:
These are the theoretical best results — reaching them requires choosing your words carefully to avoid blocking future possibilities.
Some words block more future possibilities than others. After submitting a word, you'll see a drop indicator next to your progress:
If you block more than 2 extra words, you'll see a warning suggesting you undo and try a different word. You can undo any word by hovering over it in your found words and clicking the × button.
Points are awarded based on word length:
| Word Length | Points | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 3 letters | 1 point | CAT, DOG, RUN |
| 4 letters | 2 points | WORD, TEXT, CODE |
| 5 letters | 3 points | FORGE, CRAFT, BUILD |
| 6 letters | 4 points | CREATE, MASTER, DESIGN |
| 7 letters | 6 points | MONSTER, BUILDER, CRAFTER |
You get 3 free hints every day. Each hint reveals a word's length plus its first and last letters:
The Super Hint reveals the best word to play next based on the puzzle analysis. It picks the word from the optimal path that maximises how many total words you can find.
All your used hints are saved in the collapsible panel below the letter grid. Click to expand and review your hints at any time.
Your rank is calculated based on two factors:
As you play, you'll see your rank update in real time, for example: "Rank 15 of 127 players today"
Rankings compare everyone playing the same daily puzzle. Your rank can change as more players complete theirs throughout the day.
While you play, a live comparison shows how your word count stacks up against other players on today's puzzle:
Early in the day when few people have played, it shows "est avg" (estimated average) instead.
Your submitted words appear as pills below the input, colour-coded by point value:
On desktop, hover over any word to see its point value and how many other players found it (e.g. "3 pts | Found by 72% of players"). This data updates as more people play throughout the day.
To undo a word, hover over it and click the × button. Undoing removes the word and restores your letter uses, but it costs time which affects your ranking.
Play every day to build your streak! Miss a day and your streak resets — unless it's a weekend. You get weekend protection: skipping Saturday or Sunday won't break your streak.

Begin with short words to build momentum, then work up to longer words for more points.
Common endings: -ED, -ING, -ER, -LY, -TION
Common prefixes: RE-, UN-, PRE-
The ⭐ power letter has 5 uses — look for longer words that use it, since they're worth more points.
If the reachable count drops by more than 1 after a word, you picked a word that blocked others. Consider undoing it and trying a different one to maximise your total.
The Super Hint is most valuable early on — it sets you on the optimal path before you've committed to words that might block better options.
Rankings use score first, then time as a tiebreaker. Finding one extra word is always better than saving a minute.
